IM control via access list?

I use RLV, and that may or may not matter for this question but...does anyone know how to allow IM (instant messages) based on names contained in an access list? If a person IMs me and they are not on a list I would not get the IM.

Yeah, RLV makes a difference. For a regular viewer, the only tool that will get you there is to mute the avatars. With RLV, you can turn off sending and receiving IMs in general, then allow those actions for individual avatars (the script will need to know or find out the key for each avatar you want to enable).

To send commands to RLV, make an object llOwnerSay them to you. The reference is at

To turn off all IM, you would use:

llOwnerSay("@sendim=n,recvim=n";

Then to allow yourself to exchange IMs with a particular avatar:

string someAvatarKey = "11111111-2222-3333-4444-555555555555";
llOwnerSay("@recvim:" + someAvatarKey + "=add,sendim:" + someAvatarKey + "=add";

...and repeat for any other avatars you want to allow. To take someone off the allowed list, change the =add in the above to =rem

Viktoria, thank you very much! Now all I need to know is how to make a script that does this. Onward I go!

I'm selling a gadget that does exactly that, with an access list that is maintained by chat commands.

or come to my in-world shop at http://slurl.com/secondlife/Gwarl/72/176/740 and grab it there.

Even better, Lance! I'll be over soon.
